Hello buddy, welcome to the Redmond TV. I'm joined by Liverpoolmerefielder James.

How are you, okay?

All good, yeah? All good, you?

Yeah, fine, thanks. I'm actually appreciate you joining me.

We have to address the elephant in the room, which is your black eye to begin with, if you don't mind.

Tell us how, why, yeah, and how you're feeling about it. Yeah, so I got a little elbow on the weekend, playing for the under 21s.

So it swalled up a bit, so I was a little bit worried, but it's all right now.

So the swelling's gone down, a little bit of colour, but it's all right.

We're all good.

Yeah, it looks okay.

Looks out.

We're about that.

Yeah, I'm going to just spend a bit of time to talk about your journey, for like like so far and last year's cup final before headed this one of course as well

take you back to the start really obviously you joined from sunderland under 15s and arrive of the football

club you know you come through the youth ranks play 18s 21s you know just sort of tell us about

coming to a football club the size of Liverpool and what that meant to you at the time and all that

stuff yeah so it's probably i remember being a little bit dawton when i was young obviously i was to you at the time, all that stuff? Yeah, so it was probably, I remember being a little bit dauntinging when I was young,

obviously I was only 14 at the time.

But I think, like, the biggest thing I remember is when a club like this comes knocking,

you can't say no, like, you've at least got to go and have a look.

So I came and have a look just when I turned 15, I think. And then, yeah, as soon as I got around the building, down the academy and that, and I watched,

I was actually here, I watched the Barcelona game
